Overview
The P-334WHD is an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless broadband router with a four-port 10/100 Mbps switch and a
built-in 56K modem. The computers connected to the P-334WHD can share Internet access via either a
broadband (cable/DSL) modem or the built-in 56K modem. Alternatively, you can set up both connections and
use the dial-up connection (via the built-in modem) as a backup when the primary broadband WAN connection
is down. The P-334WHD also works as an access point (AP) or a Wi-Fi WAN router that allows you to access
the Internet via a wireless WAN connection.
You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following information.

2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1Launch your web browser. Enter “192.168.1.1” as the web site address.
Note: If the login screen does not display, check your browser’s security settings (see
Troubleshooting for details) or make sure your computer is set to receive an IP address
dynamically (see Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address).
Look at the top panel LEDs. When you
connect the power, the PWR LED blinks and
stays on once the device is ready.
The LAN, WAN and WLAN LEDs turn on if
the corresponding connections are properly
made.
2The Password window displays. Enter the
password (“1234” is the default) and click Login.
3Change the password in the screen that follows
and click Apply.
4Click Go to Wizard setup to set up your P-334WHD
(in router mode) for the first time.
Click Go to Advanced setup to use main menus to
configure advanced features, such as operating
mode.

3 Operating Mode
The P-334WHD supports three operating modes: Router, Access Point and WiFi WAN Router.
Router (default): Select this mode if the P-334WHD is connected to a broadband DSL/cable modem. NAT
allows all LAN computers to access the Internet using the same public IP address.
WiFi WAN Router: In this mode, the P-334WHD works similarly as a Router, but uses a wireless WAN
connection via an access point (AP) or wireless router, instead of a wired connection via a DSL/cable modem.
In this mode, the P-334WHD does not allow network access to wireless clients (WLAN).
Access Point: In this mode, the P-334WHD works as a Router without routing features (such as NAT),
firewall, content filtering, etc.
When the P-334WHD is in Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, all LAN and WAN ports act as a hub.
If you want to configure the operating mode, click Maintenance > Sys OP Mode. See your User’s Guide for
more information about the operating modes.
Note: Use the wizard to configure the P-334WHD in Router mode. If you want to use the P-334WHD in
Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, use the main menus.
You can use the WAN dial-up connection only when the P-334WHD is in Router mode.

4 Connection Wizard Setup
Note: The connection wizard is for setting up Internet access when the P-334WHD is in Router mode
only. If the P-334WHD is in Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, using the wizard will reset
the operating mode to Router mode (the default).
Internet Access Setup
Note: Enter the Internet access information exactly as given to you by your ISP in each wizard screen
and then click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous screen.
Current screen information will be lost if you click Back.
STEP 1: System Information
STEP 2: Wireless LAN
Configure ONE of the following wireless security types on the P-334WHD:
•Auto security: Have the P-334WHD automatically generate a pre-shared key.
1After you log into the web configurator and click
Go to Wizard setup,choose your language from
the drop-down list box. Click Next.
2Click Next to proceed with the Connection Wizard.
1This screen is optional. You can just click Next.
•System Name is for identifying the P-334WHD.
You can enter your computer's "Computer Name".
• If you leave the Domain Name blank, the domain
name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used.

•None security: Have no wireless LAN security configured. If you do not enable any wireless security on your P-
334WHD, your network is accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.
•Basic security: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless net-
work. The higher the WEP Encryption, the higher the security but the slower the throughput.
•Extend (WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK) security: Configure a Pre-Shared Key. Choose this option only if your wire-
less clients support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK respectively.
Note: The wireless clients and P-334WHD must use the same SSID, channel ID and WPA(2)-PSK (if
WPA(2)-PSK is enabled) or WEP encryption key (if WEP is enabled) for wireless communication.
Auto or No Wireless Security
A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WHD in the wireless LAN.
B Select a wireless security level. Choose Auto or None.
C The P-334WHD automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WHD
and wireless client must use the same channel.
D If you select Auto and click Next, a screen pops up displaying the generated pre-shared key. Click OK to
continue. You can also view the generated pre-shared key in the Wireless LAN > General screen.

Basic(WEP) Security
A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WHD in the wireless LAN.
B Select Basic(WEP) security.
C The P-334WHD automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WHD
and wireless client must use the same channel.
D Select 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit from the WEP Encryption drop-down list.
E Select ASCII or Hex WEP key input method.
F You can create a WEP key by either:
Entering a Passphrase (up to 32 printable characters) and clicking Generate to have the P-334WHD
automatically generates four WEP keys.
Or
Manually entering a key in each Key (1~4) field.
G Select one of the Key radio buttons to use as the default WEP key.

STEP 3: WAN
The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection type you are using.
If the wizard cannot detect a connection type, you must select ONE from the drop-down list box. Check with your
ISP to make sure you are using the correct type:
1Ethernet
2PPPoE
3PPTP
4Modem Dial-up.
A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WHD in the wireless LAN.
B Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security.
C The P-334WHD automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WHD
and wireless client must use the same channel.
D Type a pre-shared key to have a more secure wireless connection than WEP encryption. Type from 8 to 63
case-sensitive ASCII characters. You can set up the most secure wireless connection by configuring WPA(2)
in the advanced wireless screen. You need to configure a RADIUS server to do this.

Internet Access Setup Complete
Troubleshooting
1If you cannot access the web configurator using Internet Explorer in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003,
make sure you allow pop-up windows, JavaScripts and Java permissions or set the Internet security level
lower than High in Internet Explorer (in Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Security >
Custom Level...). See the appendix in the User’s Guide for more information.
2If you cannot access the Internet when your computer is connected to the LAN port, follow these steps.
A) Check the LEDs on the top panel. If they are different than what is described in section 1, make sure the
connections are correct. If the LEDs are still different, turn off the device, wait a few seconds, and turn it
on again.
B) Follow the steps in section 4 again. Make sure you enter the correct information. For example, if your
account has a user name and password, make sure you type it correctly. In addition, if you are not sure
which encapsulation your ISP uses, contact your ISP.
C) If you are using a new Internet account, contact your ISP to make sure it is active.
D) Make sure you are not using the telephone connected to the P-334WHD.
E) If the P-334WHD is in Access Point mode, make sure the P-334WHD is connected to a modem or
router.
F) If the P-334WHD is in WiFi WAN Router mode, make sure the P-334WHD is NOT connected to a modem
or router. The P-334WHD and AP or wireless router should use the same wireless and wireless security
settings.
G) If you still have problems, see Troubleshooting in the User’s Guide.
3If you cannot access the Internet using the wireless network, follow these steps.
A) If you can access the web configurator, follow steps A - G above. If you do not, go to the next step.
B) On a computer connected to the P-334WHD, make sure your P-334WHD and the computers on your
wireless network are using the same wireless and wireless security settings. See the chapter on wireless
LAN in the User’s Guide for more information.
If you have any Internet access problems, follow the
on-screen instructions.
Click Finish to complete the wizard setup.
